Description
English: The picture is probably painted between 1810 and 1812. This portrait depicts Queen Caroline Bonaparte sitting, the royal crown resting beside her on a velvet cushion. A rich drapery and a monumental column, in the pure classical tradition of portraits, occupy the background that opens onto the bay of Naples and the smoking Vesuvius. She is dressed in antique style and wears a sumptuous Grand Habit of Court in embroidered silk and an ornament composed of a tiara, necklace, bracelet, earrings and clasp. The painting has always been considered by the owners' family as a work executed by Baron Gérard and his workshop.
Français : Le tableau est probablement peint entre 1810 et 1812. Ce portrait représente la reine Caroline Bonaparte assise, la couronne royale posée à ses côtés sur un coussin de velours. Une riche draperie et une colonne monumentale, dans la pure tradition classique des portraits d’apparat, occupe l’arrière-plan qui s’ouvre sur la baie de Naples et le Vésuve fumant. Coiffée à l’antique, elle porte un somptueux Grand Habit de Cour en soie brodée et une parure composée d’un diadème, collier, bracelet, boucles d’oreilles et fermoir. Le tableau est considéré par la famille des propriétaires comme une œuvre exécutée par le baron Gérard et son atelier mais l'attribution est écartée par Alain Latreille, spécialiste du peintre.
